Activists of Islamist studentsâ€™ organization Campus Front of India brutally murdered an ABVP leader at Christian College at Chengannur in Keralaâ€™s Alappuzha district. Two other ABVP workers were injured in the Islamistsâ€™ attack.

ABVP leader Vishal (19), who was hacked by a bike-mounted gang of Islamists in front of Christian College on Monday morning, succumbed to the injuries at about 3.00 am Tuesday. In protest, the ABVP struck studies across the State on Tuesday and the BJP observed a hartal in Alappuzha district.

Doctors said Vishal, a final year BSc (Zoology) student at the NSS College, Konni in Pathanamthitta district and a resident of Mulakkuzha, Chengannur, was brought to the Medical College Hospital, Kottayam with damaged vertebrae and injured duodenum and pancreas and with very low blood pressure. Funeral will take place on Wednesday.

Campus Front is the studentsâ€™ wing of Islamist organization Popular Front of India (PFI, formerly NDF), whose activists had in a Taliban-model attack on July 4, 2010 chopped off the right hand of TJ Joseph, a college professor from Ernakulam district, for preparing a question paper that allegedly blasphemed Prophet Muhammad.

The police have taken into custody three persons and a vehicle used by the murderers while they have registered cases against 14 persons for the violence in Chengannur. According to police sources, some receipts of the Campus Front were found from the spot of violence in front of Christian College but the outfit had no unit in the institution.

The incident took place amidst a programme for welcoming new students to the college. It is said that the ABVP had organized Saraswati Pooja in front of the college while others were engaged in distributing sweets to the newcomers when the Campus Front activists rushed in and hacked ABVPâ€™s Vishal, Vishnu Prasad and Sreejith.

Students of the college said that there was tension two days ago over the Campus Frontâ€™s attempt to open a unit in the college. This was followed by disputes over posters stuck on the college walls, they said. â€œHowever, we did not expect this to happen in our college. It was a lightning attack and obviously, the ABVP had got no time to react,â€ said a student.

Vishnu and Sreejith, undergoing treatment for the injuries they suffered in the attack, said that they were attacked by a 20-member gang that reached the spot on motorbikes. The assailants had fled before the local residents rushed to the spot hearing the studentsâ€™ calls for help, eyewitnesses said.

Terming the Chengannur incident as a terror strike, senior BJP leader PS Sreedharan Pillai said that trained Popular Front activists had attacked the students without provocation. It was wrong to describe this as student clash, he said, adding that the Campus Front was trying to import terror into campuses. Pillai called for a probe into the incident by a Central agency like the NIA.

Meanwhile, Tuesdayâ€™s hartal in Alappuzha district called by the BJP was total. The Muslim Aikya Vedi called for a hartal on Wednesday in certain areas of the district to protest against the violent incidents that occurred during Tuesdayâ€™s shutdown. Also, the ABVP called for a State-wide education bandh on Wednesday.

A young life is lost due to barbarism of few faithful secular people! This is the legacy which secularism will give the coming generations.....and in this case for sure- they will never know what hit them!

Kerala is fastly spiralling downwards a dangerous slope and the Govt in power in league with the Kunhalees is turning a blind eye towards it. Looks like more revenge style violence is certain if the Govt does not act on this case..

^^^^^^ These ABVP fools should carry sword and knives (atleast) while taking out protests or they will also get hacked however this time en-mass (they have no clue how organized and well fed are the ranks of islamists)!

Blame Gandhi and the non violence shit. When will we start learning from the BhagwadGeeta

Adding a new dimension to Kerala's fractious socio-political scenario, the SNDP Yogam and Nair Service Society (NSS), community outfits of Backward Class Ezhavas and 'Forward' caste Nairs have decided to come together to safeguard the 'Hindu interests' in the state.

The new found unity of the two influential units, which for long have been at divergent poles on caste-based reservation, is based on their contention that the genuine interests of the 'majority community' have been trampled on under the Congress-led UDF government in which Indian Union Muslim League and Christian-dominated Kerala Congress(M) are key partners and handle vital portfolios like Finance and Education.

Observers say though the chances of SNDP and NSS coming on a joint political platform are remote, their united moves are certain to bring pressure on the Chandy government, whose policies on education sector have been attacked by the two community outfits in recent times.

The leadership meeting of SNDP at Munnar in Idukki in the last two days had authorised its general secretary Vellpally Natensan to take decision to cement the unity with NSS.On its part, SNDP is keen to expand the unity plank by enlisting the support of all non-political Hindu outfits representing communities from Dalits to Brahmins.

The director board of NSS, which met at its headquarters at Perunna in Kottayam yesterday, reciprocated the SNDP move by entrusting its general secretary G Sukumaran Nair to go ahead with plans to create a joint platform of the two communities, who together constitute a majority of the Hindu fold.

Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana Yogam, known in local parlance as SNDP, was founded a century back on the principles of saint-reformer Sreenarayana Guru who preached the message "one caste, one religion and one God for men" and pioneered the social reform movement in Kerala.

NSS was founded at the initiative of Mannath Padmanabhan to save the Nairs from social and economic degradation last century. (MORE)
